When i first did the TD engine change on the valver i installed the front mount IC from a Xantia, to do it i made room but cutting some chunks out of the car!

basically I call but cut out part 7, both sides. Did stitch in some 3mm plate at the same time mind (with a shitty low power gassless mig), but it has always weighed on my mind that its there screaming for it to all go wrong! wasthinking if i could get a full (new) front slam panel (part 3) which turn up from time to time, then i could weld it back in. I could also do with section 8 as well as its like swiss cheese after 4 different types of radiator going into the 'extra' holes what i made.
I suspect No9 would have to come off, but i'm totally unsure on how best to go about ti to stop the whole thing caving in and then fucking bonnet alignment and every thing else. I appreciate the wings hide (or provide) much of the mis alignment.
so, thoughts?
